[comp.mail.sendmail] $D macro

ste@cbnewsm.ATT.COM (Shaun T. Erickson) (04/27/89)

I am _very_ new to sendmail configuring, so please flame gently if this
turns out to be a dumb question ...

The "$D" macro is undefined in the sendmail.subsidiary.cf file that I am 
using. What is it for? Is it supposed to be set to something, and if so
what? This is from the stock file that comes with SunOS 4.0.1.

S5
R$+<@LOCAL>		$@$D!$1		name@LOCAL => sun!name
			   ^
Also, (this shows _just_ how new I am to this :-), under what circumstances
and for what reasons would one *need* to change their stock cf file? Isn't
the one "right out of the box" good enough?

Please email me all replies and flames ...... I will summarize to the net,
(replies &/or flames :-) if there is enough interest .... Thanx!
